What is Digital Products
how we even sell those well let me show you on my screen right now you can see one of the easiest platforms in my opinion to buy and sell digital products online that platform is easy and if you keep watching I’m gonna show you some examples of current Etsy sellers who are making a thousand two thousand and up to ten thousand dollars passively per month
(01:50) selling digital products on Etsy from just one single digital product now I know most of you probably know Etsy as an online marketplace where people can sell physical things that they make themselves like jewelry clothing and other handmade physical items but what a lot of people don’t know is that Etsy is also an amazing place to sell non-physical products or digital products like printable wall art digital planners and journals printable coloring sheets and other printable or downloadable products
Why I Love Digital Products
why I love digital products over physical products is because, unlike physical products that you have to buy inventory upfront and pay to ship to your customers with digital products, you don’t need to buy or hold any inventory at all or pay for shipping to send your digital products to your customers with digital products you only have to create the product one time on your laptop phone or tablet as a digital file and then anytime a customer buys that product all they have to do is download the digital file onto the
device of their choice and there’s no shipping needed for digital products because the customer just has to download the file with digital products you can sell that one product over and over again to create a completely passive income stream for yourself now you might be thinking that digital products are difficult to make or will take a lot of time and effort well you couldn’t be more wrong because today there are amazing online tools that make this process so simple that anyone can get started with this type of online
business idea right now I’m going to show you two beginner-friendly tools that you can use to get started today now let’s get started with the actual process the first step is to do a bit of quick research to find the best digital products to sell on Etsy right now and one of the simplest ways to do that is by just searching the word digital in the Etsy search box to see what comes up this will show us a whole list of products that starts with the word digital that people are selling and buying on Etsy right now itsy’s search
function automatically shows the most recently searched keywords at the top of the search results so anything you see here at the very top you know is very popular in that customers are searching to buy this item right now using the basic Etsy search box isn’t exact and will take a bit more digging to confirm the results are profitable but it’s a great starting point another way and my favorite way to find the most popular and profitable products on Etsy right now is to use the sales samurai chrome extension because it shows you the
actual number of searches that have been made which will tell me how popular this product actually is and will help me determine if I can actually make money online with this product the sales samurai chrome extension you can see on the right-hand side will give you an exact number that you can use to do your research if you want to try it out for yourself to increase your chances of finding the most popular products I’ve dropped a link down in the description for you if not that’s totally fine you
can just use the native Etsy search function as well now I’ve already done some research for us to keep this Article as short as possible and found in my opinion an extremely popular and potentially profitable product and on top of that it’s also quick and easy to create but before I show you what it is I wanted to remind you to keep watching all the way to the end because I’m giving away some really great free bonuses to my subscribers that will make this whole process so much easier for you so make sure you subscribe and just
keep watching okay so here on my screen you can see in the search bar. I have typed digital prints and when. I click in the search bar and can see digital prints, which has over 26 000 search results which tells us this product is very popular and in high
demand by customers on Etsy right now and if we narrow that down a little bit further to be more specific I’m going to type. The keyword printable wall art is just a more specific description of digital prints and you, can see it has over a search volume of 3 600 searches which tells us a lot of people are looking for printable wall art on Etsy right now the reason,
Why Digital
why I love the idea of printable wall art as a digital product is that physical wall art is always a popular item to buy and sell on Etsy but a digital printable version of wall art is much more affordable for people who don’t want to pay for the actual higher priced physical pre-printed wall art or pay for the expensive shipping costs associated with physical wall art as well so basically people will purchase a digital piece of wall art then receive
link to download the file onto their laptop or other device and can then print the wall art anywhere they like if we scroll down we can see lots of different kinds of simple digital wall art that people are selling and buying on Etsy right now from simple images like this one here to digital prints of simple text like this one here now let me show you some examples of some Etsy sellers that are potentially making into the thousands of dollars each month selling printable products right now I’ll start with
Examples
the highest and then work my way down now I found a specific example for you that you can see on my screen right now and it’s a set of nine digital wall art pieces that the customer can buy as a set and then download and print themselves in any size
they like now let’s take a look at how much this product is potentially making this seller I’m using the ever bee chrome extension to see the analytics for this product because Etsy doesn’t actually show you this information and here you can see this one digital product is
making this seller over 11 000 per month in estimated revenue don’t forget the seller just had to create these prints one time now each time the digital product sells we can assume the majority of that is profit the ever be extension is another
the tool that helps you pick the most profitable products to sell by giving us additional information that Etsy doesn’t give again you don’t have to use this tool but I’m always going to share with you the best tools to make this process as quick as possible so if you
want to try it out the link for you is down in the description now to be completely clear 11 000 per month is on the extreme high end and might not be the norm or typical income from selling digital wall art but it’s a good example of
what is possible and shows the potential of this idea if you take the time to create the right design now I’m going to show you a couple other more realistic examples of the revenue potential from selling digital products like wall art here you can see a collection of simple text prints that
someone created for the office niche and if we check Everbe for the estimated monthly revenue for this product it’s around 1900 each month completely passively here you can see an example of digital posters with an estimated revenue
of over 4 500 Singapore dollars which works out to be about 3200 USD so now that I’ve shown you a few profitable examples of digital and printable products let’s continue on to the next step which is how to actually create these products I know you’re probably thinking
Creating Digital Products
that creating digital art is hard to do but you couldn’t actually be more wrong because I’m going to show you how you can do it in just a few minutes if you use the right tools now that’s where one of my favorite apps comes in let me show you so here on my screen you can see the creative fabric website creative fabric is a tool I love because it gives you access to over 5 million high-quality graphics and fonts that you can download and use to create literally any type of digital art or
the digital product you like just like the digital wallet I just showed you on Etsy and right now I’ve actually partnered with Trade of Fabric to give you access to their entire collection of images graphics fonts and so much more for just a dollar for
the first month after the first month there is a recurring fee of 19 but that’s a 35 discount from the standard per month but there’s no obligation so you’re completely free to cancel before or anytime after that if you want to try it out the discount link is down in the
description and why I really like Creative Fabric over other similar apps is because with every single graphic image and font that you download from their website, you also get a commercial license and some even have a full print-on-demand license at no additional cost to you and why that’s important is because that allows you to take the graphics or fonts that you download directly from creative fabrics and use them to create products that you can then sell to make money online including the commercial license is what sets
Creative Fabrica apart from other similar sites that either don’t give you a commercial license to monetize their graphics or make
you pay an extra fee for it so now let me show you how to use Creative Fabrica to create a digital product that we can then sell on Etsy as a passive income source first we need to pick a style of art that we want to create for this Article I’m going to use this listing right here from Etsy as inspiration now, of course, I’m not going to copy it exactly I’m just going to use
the idea of their motivational or inspirational style to create my own version of art so I’m going to find a few graphics and fonts from Creative Fabrica that I think would work well for this style to do that you just need to come up here to
the search bar in Creative Fabric and search for what you’re looking for when you type in the keyword and hit enter you’ll get a list of graphics and fonts based on what you search for this Article I’ve already pulled some graphics that I want to use I’m going to use this one right here and
this one right here and I’m going to use two fonts as well this one here and this font right here now to get the graphics and fonts from the Creative Fabric website to your laptop you just need to click on this green download button right here now
I want to point out that if you choose the one-dollar trial for the monthly subscription you get unlimited downloads each month but if you don’t want to subscribe monthly you have to pay individually for each item that you want to download which often ends up being more expensive than the
monthly subscription which doesn’t really make sense in my opinion which is why I personally subscribe don’t forget that the dollar trial link is down in the description if you want to try it out too I’ve also included links to all of the graphics I chose in this Article down in the description
if you want to follow along and download the same ones that I’m using for this Article okay so now that we have a few graphics that we like it’s time to move on to the next step which is to
Creating a Digital Wallet
Create the digital wallet we want to sell on Etsy for that I’m going to introduce you to tool number two of this Article and one of my all-time favorites which is Canva for those of you who don’t know canvas is a super simple graphic design online app that makes creating digital art as simple as possible even for people who aren’t artistic or techy at all now here you can see I’m inside my own canvas account canva has a limited free forever plan that you can use or you can choose to subscribe to the pro account like i
do to unlock all of the features some of the features I use in this Article will only be available on the pro account because that’s what I have and that’s what makes the process faster but you can still create what I’m going to show you with a free account it will just take you a little bit longer or you won’t have access to the same tools I show you next if you want to try out canvas pro for free I’ve added a link down in the description for you as well so for this Article I’m going to show you
how to create an example of a digital wallet that you can create but you can create whatever style of art you like best or whatever style your research on Etsy suggests would be the most profitable to make this as easy as possible for you I’m going to be giving away the exact templates I’m creating in this Article for free as one of the bonuses at the end all you have to do is upload them into your own canvas account to get started I’ll tell you how to get the link to download the templates at the end of the Article so make sure you
keep watching so the first step we need to do is to create a new design by clicking up here in the top right corner and then scrolling down to select a poster which dimensions 18 by 24 inches if you want to choose a different size there are lots to choose from or you can enter custom dimensions right here from there we want to upload the graphics that we just downloaded from creative fabrica so we can use them to create our own digital wall art to do that come over here to the left menu and click uploads then the uploads file
button then select the creative fabric of files but don’t forget to unzip the files first next we need to install our fonts by clicking back over here to the Canva main account page then under tools click brand then look for the button to upload your fonts now just a quick note that custom fonts are only available with canvas pro so if you have a free plan you’ll have to just skip the step and use the basic canvas fonts instead now once you’ve uploaded your creative fabric of fonts come back to the tab
where you started your design and under the upload tab click on the first creative fabric graphic and it will automatically insert onto your canvas you can then size it by dragging the corners and you can even add additional graphics from the Canva app to add a bit more to the design next let’s add some text to our wall art to do that come over to the left and click where it says text then select one of the options at the top to add it to your canvas if it’s really small you can just resize it quickly by dragging the corner or
changing the size at the top next let’s add a quote to our design I already found one that I think would work really well with this graphic you can either type or just copy and paste the text right into the box next let’s change the font of our text by using one of our creative fabric of fonts by clicking up here in the top and then searching for the name of it then just adjust the size and placement of the text as needed I think this looks really great now once you’re happy with the design the last
step is to download the finished file by clicking up here where it says share then download now it’s really important that you select the option called pdf print and change the color profile to CMYK when downloading your file to sell on Etsy because
this will give you the best quality file for printing purposes which is what our digital product will be used for by our customers once you’ve done that you also want to download each image as a png to use for your listing as well and with that you can see in just a few minutes we’ve
created a really cool-looking digital wall art file that you can now upload onto your Etsy shop to start selling and if you look here I’ve also created two more designs that will go with the first one to create a set of three similar to what
we found on Etsy and we’ll increase our profits now the last thing you’re going to want to do in a little bonus step before adding these digital wall art pieces to your Essie store is to create a mock-up so that people can visualize what your wall art will look
like in real life after they print it Creative Fabrica also has mock-up files that you can download and edit right here in Canva as well I found this one here on the Creative Fabrica website and I’ve downloaded it already if you want to use this same mockup I’ve added the link to this exact graphic down in the description as well to customize the graphic really easily all you have to do is upload the file into your canvas account like we did before then upload your finished digital wall art png as well then you can just drag your wallet
files right onto the mock-up and resize them to fit inside the frames I’ve also added a little sticker here saying digital downloads so that people know exactly what it is you’re selling once you’ve done that just download the mockup file as a PNG to your laptop like this and once you’ve downloaded the file you have everything you need to start selling your digital products on your Etsy shop now don’t forget if you want to download these exact templates that I created in this Article I’m sharing
Creating Your First Etsy Listing
The template links for everyone who watches to the end of the Article so don’t skip out early the last step to this process is to create the listing on Etsy and upload our digital products now for the sake of time I’m not going to show you how to create your Etsy shop in this Article because it’s pretty straightforward but the first thing you need to do is to create your Etsy shop then log into your account next I’m going to show you the very basics of how to create your first Etsy listing and upload your digital wallet
the product I’m going to go through this part pretty quickly to keep this Article short but feel free to go back and watch it again if you have to now to create our digital wall art listing in our Etsy shop first we need to upload our Canva images making sure the mock-up is the primary image that will be used as the thumbnail next you need to upload a title with some popular keywords you can find good keywords to use by simply searching competitor listings on Etsy for ideas or by using tools like marmalade for now
I’ve created this example title here that you can use for ideas the next step is to fill in the About the listing section right here just like I’ve done, and then select a category for our digital product we’ll select digital prints by typing it in the box then the rest of the fields are optional but the more info you add here the better chance you’ll have of people actually finding your product on Etsy so I added the primary colors and most importantly the dimensions of our digital prints which are 18 by 24 inches as well as the
the orientation which is vertical next I selected the room options as living room office and bedroom and the subject as inspirational saying and phrase next you need to check the renewal option of either automatic or manual I chose automatic but
you can choose whichever option you like here and now you must select digital as the type because we’re selling a digital product and that’s how Etsy will know to send the digital file to your customers next you need to add a description for your digital product
it’s really important to be as clear and specific as possible for your product description so that your customers know exactly what they’re buying and don’t get confused make sure you state that it’s a digital product and not a physical product I created this description here based on research from other competitors feel free to use my example as a starting point and then edit it to fit your own listing it’s important to do your own research and make sure you include the specifics of
your own digital products and don’t just copy and paste next you need to enter the price of the product for this example I selected ten dollars based on what i found from other competitors and similar products and you can set the quantity to whatever you like I’ve just set it to 100, for now, you can change the amount of the inventory quantity at any time now last you just need to upload your digital pdf print files that we downloaded from canvas to the listing by clicking upload file once you’ve done that click the save and
continue button to launch your very first digital product listing on Etsy now you can see we have our very first digital product live and ready for our customers to purchase once you’ve created your listing you can either let the Etsy algorithm share
your products with potential customers based on their search results or you can use my favorite free marketing strategy by sharing your digital products on social media like Instagram and tock or you can also use any paid marketing strategies that you like
